- 1793: April 29, 1793 – I have seen no hirundo yet myself. Sowed Columbines, two sorts; Scabius; Scarlet lychnis; Nigella; 10 weeks stocks; Mountain Lychnis.
- 1790: April 29, 1790 – Dr. Chandler, & lady came to the parsonage house.
- 1789: April 29, 1789 – Scarce a hirundo has been seen about this village.
- 1786: April 29, 1786 – Red-breasts have young.
- 1784: April 29, 1784 – The hoar-frost was so great that Thomas could hardly mow. Bats out for the first time, I think, this spring: they hunt, & take the phalanae along by the sides of the hedges. There had been this spring a pretty good flight of woodcocks about Liss. If we have any of those birds of late years, it has been in the spring, in their return from the West, I suppose, to the Eastern coast.
- 1777: April 29, 1777 – The bark of oak now runs; & I am felling some trees. Wwen trees are sawn-off, & thrown, a rushing sound is heard from the but, often attended with a little frothing & bubbling-out of the sap. This rushing or hissing is occasioned by the motion of the air escaping thro’ the vessels of the wood.
